The Space:
After a recent revamp of this listing to include the main living space plus the backyard, we are delighted to present Putt 'n Plunge Paradise! Every inch of this space was thoughtfully updated with creating the best vacation experience in mind: from the 6 hole putting green to the hot tub to the cold plunge to being in an excellent central location, this house has everything but the pool!
This unique 3/2 house is located along a quiet, dead-end street, so there is very little traffic and street noise from Bahia Vista Street cannot be heard. In fact, most of the homes located along this street are actually vacant most of the year as they tend to be second homes for individuals from out of state.
The living space is classily decorated with nods to Sarasota throughout, boasting 3 king-sized beds in each bedroom, a new and comfortable 8 person leather sectional, and a spacious covered-and-screened-in lanai that provides additional outdoor seating, an outdoor dining area, and a large 75" TV that is visible from the hot tub.
The hot tub is also covered with a pergola, making day-time soaking in the shade much more comfortable and night-time soaking much more cozy (pergola is equipped with an outdoor light).
Most listings do not feature a cold plunge tub, so this is a rare amenity to be had! The cold plunge is deliberately not covered as it is much more comfortable to soak in the plunge while the lovely Florida sun shines on your face and keeps whatever is not in the water very warm :)
The spacious backyard was very intentionally made to be dirt-free: the large putting green has pet-friendly turf (meaning pets are free to relieve themselves on the turf as there are pet deodorizers under the turf) and the rest of the backyard is fully concreted. This clean outdoor environment plus fully-fenced area makes sunning in complete privacy possible as well as super clean! A propane grill is also added to perfect the outdoor vacation experience!
Board games and puzzles are also available! In fact, a large puzzle board is also available for the puzzle enthusiasts out there (upon request)!
A keypad lock is equipped on 2 of the 3 outdoor doors to allow for easy self-check in.
This property is a non-smoking, non-vaping property and does not allow parties. Please note, this property is located in a friendly and welcoming neighborhood and, although it is a vacation destination, it's home to other people. As such we ask that you respect their privacy and their right to a peaceful existence! Quiet hours for this property are from 9pm to 9am to be in compliance with the Sarasota noise ordinance regulation.

Loved our stay! The neighborhood was very quiet and felt safe there. The home was beautifully decorated and loved using the cold plunge and hot tub. That location was central to everything will definitely come back next time. We’re in Sarasota.
Gracious and responsive hosts. The apartment was clean and situated very well for us. We were visiting family and this was a great place for us as a base for our getting around. We also had our 2 small dogs with us and they did well at the property.We would stay here again, loved the place.
Very hospitable! The stay for me and my 3yr old was comfortable. Not far from the beach and other attractions. We had an amazing stay. I highly recommend!
This is a cute and cozy little place with just about all you need. Great for one person or two people without a lot of stuff (we had two bikes that we kept inside with us).
Erinn & Marlin are wonderful hosts!
We so enjoyed our stay. This quiet sanctuary has everything you need. The hosts were quick to respond to any questions we had. Thank you for a wonderful 5 days.
We had a lovely stay at this home! The backyard is absolute perfection and we could have spent so much more time out there! The house has a lot of space and although it was just two of us there would have been plenty of room for 3 couples. Everything was well thought out and very clean. We were even left beautiful fresh flowers! The location was also perfect and a close drive to downtown Sarasota and the various beach towns. We would absolutely stay here again!
We adore this place! So quaint and so close to the city! They provided everything we would need! One of the best Vrbo that I’ve ever stayed in! The hosts communicate everything very well which is nice!!
Erin is so sweet. She’s easy to communicate with, kind, and professional. The property is clean and charming with upscale beach vibes. This is our second visit, and the place we plan to stay when we come to town in the future!
I’m very thankful to my hosts for my stay! The rooms were perfect for me. Bed was very comfortable, nice chair and couch. Kitchen had everything I needed and more! Parking was perfect, neighborhood was great, quiet and near everything! I’m so happy I stayed here. Hosts could not have been better! I feel blessed to have stayed here!
The cleanliness of this property cannot be matched! I give it a 5 and I will definitely stay here again! Recommended this location to all my friends and family. I was so excited I even sent some a video of how nice it was :)
Erinn & Marlin were GREAT. Communication & flexibility were amazing. Guest suite was exactly as featured.They surprised us with alot of extras which were really appreciated. Location was perfect & local recommendations were really helpful. Tks again we'll see you in the future
For me this place was perfect. Since I was alone this was all I need. Plus I don't really cook. Very quiet dead end street. The owners left me alone which I prefer.
Beautiful property and great location! Just like the pictures and centrally located to everything. We spent time on Siesta Key, Longboat Key, Anna Maria, and Venice, all within a short drive. Spent most mornings at nearby beautiful Arlington park, walking our dog and playing at the dog park. The unit very comfortable and spacious; great layout with the barn door separating the kitchen, lots of hooks, ample plug ins, WiFi, cable, ceiling fan and thermostat both with remotes. The kitchen sink/counter also serves as the bathroom sink/vanity but it wasn’t a problem. The unit was surprisingly private and quiet despite proximity to owners (they were pleasant but we barely saw them, which was perfect). Had our own parking spot and private entrance. Loved the fenced in patio to hang out with our dog. Erinn was very easy to communicate with and has thought of every detail, providing an abundance of linens including beach towels, everything needed to cook meals including spices, and plenty of paper products, soap, etc. She even left us some wine and dog treats! We would stay here again and highly recommend it.
